Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was happy to find a monitor this size for such an impressively low price. Overall it has been a good monitor, but 4 months after purchase one of the pixels went out leaving me with a black spot on the left side of my screen(see picture). Since then no others have gone out, and the screen has decent color, but a blacked out pixel is pretty annoying to stare at while working.

My new Asus M51BC-B08 computer came bundled with this Asus VS 228H-P monitor. I'm using the DVI connection, although it also has HDMI and VGA inputs. The 1920 X 1080 screen has a non-reflective surface, thankfully, and I find it superb for photography work. And of course if it is good for that, it will be good for about anything. I have just one real gripe about this monitor, and that is, for me at least, the controls are not intuitive, and therefore, I found it difficult to adjust. In the first place, the controls are six buttons on the bottom edge of the monitor--you can't see them from the working position. Second, the tiny control identifier markings on the front edge of the black monitor frame are in a dark gray color, and cannot be seen in normal lighting. A simple task like adjusting brightness becomes a major pain of going through a menu system, and pushing a number of buttons that you can neither see nor identify easily. Asus can do better, and should, because this is otherwise an excellent monitor. But after all is said and done, once you get it set the way you want it, it's great. I should mention that there are lots of preset modes requiring only one or two buttons that will probably satisfy most users. Another mini gripe is that I had a hard time finding an English manual. The one listed on the Asus website for download was in a format that the computer couldn't digest. But I eventually found one at another site. In summary, this is a fine monitor, and I have enjoyed using it except for the control system, which honestly is not used that often anyway.

I was looking for a monitor to add to my desktop. The major items I needed were VGA input and VESA mount. I have it mounted on a multi-monitor stand. The VESA mounting is not listed on the specs but I verified it in the store before purchase. This in Monitor #3 on my desktop. Since it also has DVI and HDMI inputs I have also have it connected as Monitor #2 on my laptop computer. All I have to do is switch inputs between VGA and HDMI to share the same monitor between computers. I purchased this to replace a TV (with VGA) input to get a better display in the computer mode. This monitor size is large enough to be a good monitor but small enough to be used on most multi-monitor (3 and 4 monitor stands). The weight is light enough for most stand or arm mounting. The three different inputs make possible to use on most current and future computers. In the VGA mode my computer motherboard only recognizes it as "Analog display" not a specific model so it uses the general drivers. Due to the computer using the general Analog driver I am not able to get the published 1920 x 1080 resolution. It is equipped with a headphone jack that can provide audio out in the HDMI input mode, but has no speakers. I have not used it in the DVI input mode so I cannot comment on it. Very good price for features. It comes with part of the desktop stand installed on the monitor but was easily removed when installed it using the VESA mounting, instructions were in the setup guide. Almost did not find in my store, it was not with all the other monitors on display. I found Best Buy has additional monitors in the store connected to the computer systems. I had found online before I went to the store.

Beautiful HD picture, no dead pixels, LED and no ghosting. Connected easily to my laptop with the included VGA cable and my PS4 looks great using HDMI. The headphone jack connection works great for both my laptop and PS4 without having to change inputs. Pretty much what I was looking for at a great price.

I have nothing to say but good things about this monitor. I bought it back in January 2013 and I love it. Works great. I used to have the oldest monitor ever for the longest time and this to me is amazing. The widescreen is great! This monitor is extremely thin and very light weight. I would definitely recommend this to someone. I'm thinking about buying a second. I have two monitors for work (not this monitor) and when I work from home sometimes, it's a pain to do with one. I got spoiled with two, haha. And now it's even cheaper than it was back in January! I wouldn't think twice about this monitor! :)

Since the widescreen was introduced many years ago it has become the monitor of choice by business and individuals. I like it because you can adjust it easily to view large amounts of data. The switches on the other hand are not easy for the average person to use. They are on the bottom of the screen and because the symbols are the same color as the frame they are difficult to see, at least for members of the older crowd like me. The "switch" issue is across the board for all manufacturers so don't let this stop you from considering ASUS as a replacement monitor. Color is great, however, the software you use, such as Microsoft Office, can influence color performance. Again across the board for all manufacturers. Overall this is a very good unit and I recommend it to anyone in need of a replacement monitor.

I bought two of these to use with my desktop. The pictures are clear and sharp, just what I'd expect from a computer monitor. Great quality for the price.

I had recently bought a new desktop computer that will be used for gaming and photo editing. After comparing various monitors, this one was recommended by several friends. I haven't had or noticed any issues with it. It provides fairly good quality of images when I use it.

I have used this monitor for about six months now. The picture is clear and crisp and I am near a window at my work with direct sunlight and the screen has little to no glare. It features a great display and many different settings to tweak the picture. It works great with my Mac and MacBook as an external display. The monitor does not have speakers so external speakers are needed if you need sound. Also it comes with a nice round base that fits well with my workspace.

My job requires I use multiple monitors and this particular monitor fits the bill perfectly. The size is just right and the picture is clear and the colors are vivid

This monitor is a good size for a small desk area. 23" monitors seem more popular, but I think that is too large for my desk area, so this 21.5" is a good choice.

Full HD LED monitor, with 50,000,000:1 high contrast ratio and HDMI interface, Very good image and color quality. sturdy stand and slim profile. You get an HDMI port, which is hard to find at this price point. For a somewhat inexpensive monitor this is a good option. You can switch modes, gaming, theater, etc etc to enhance specific graphical details.

ASUS has always been a good product for me. This was priced best through Best Buy, even cheaper than Amazon. Great buy.

I received my Asus monitor and it works perfectly. I already own one so I knew how well it would perform. I was thrilled when I saw that it was on clearance so I bought a second one at a great price to go with dual monitors. Makes multitasking so much easier without having to constantly switch back and forth between windows on one monitor.

This TV is excellent. It has a very small frame and is not bulky and the picture is fantastic.

Its a good monitor overall, I like that it takes any of the 3 main inputs. Most other brands didnt have hdmi option, or they were hdmi but not vga.

I bought this for my 95-year-old Mother and she just loves it. The picture is very clear and the colors pop. She has it in her bedroom, which does not have a lot of space. It's not fancy with all the apps and such, but she doesn't want or need them. Just late night TV.

This HDMI ASUS screen provides a wide array of capabilities. It is functional, easy to set up and provides great on screen viewing for any computer. Graphics are crisp and clear. Good screen for the money.

This monitor gives a very clear picture and I love the size it is so big.

Very easy monitor to set up comes with both a DVI and a regular digital cable I wish they had marked them a little more clearly because i am not the most tech savvy person and i had to make a phone call to figure it out I feel it is the perfect size for the area I have it set up in.
